[krylon2009]

This is the best version of this song. But all the rest kick ass too. :D

Hendrix...<3

[whasudr]

guitar definitely sounds like Jimi & can hear him speaking at the end but whoevers singing aint Jimi

[TheBell65]

Just amazing from the king Jimi The one and ONly.But FREE SPM and VOTE for RON PauL

[nicknameSGB]

Is that really Hendrix singing? Doesn't quite sound like him...

[PaperTreeMusic]

@nicknameSGB I don't think it is... There seems to be too much vibrato going on.... Either that or the recording has messed up the sound...

[1ch3atd3ath]

Jimi, I've been blessed to have the same birthday as you.

Let us celebrate this memorable day together.

Happy Birthday Jimi.

R.I.P

[spiralcrystal09]

@1ch3atd3ath i have the same birthday too :)

[1ch3atd3ath]

@spiralcrystal09 That is so Awesome! :D

Thanksgiving babies ftw

[tuberklops]

who the hell dislikes this.

[bcancun123]

@tuberklops Ill tell you who dislikes this stupid ass wasted youth did

[Grubi1990]

his music... pure acid

[FuckOffYouCunt420]

8 Dislikes??!! Come on People. Blues is the Heart of every man. Embrace it and love it! PEACE

[kalimocho35]

Actually I do not need any, any kind of pot or whatever to get high with Jimi´s music. It happens in the most natural way that I get higher and higher when I start listen to his music, to his guitar playing. Just...amazing!

[curlyaaron]

@kalimocho35 youve never smoked any good shit man so how are you gonna know what high is?.

[TheMgmt420]

@curlyaaron Because he listened to this song

[TheMgmt420]

@kalimocho35 His music is the Definition of High.

[shannonandsheila1]

ya know ive smoked for about 20 years and i quit now i feel more spaced than ever

[Gforcebond]

@shannonandsheila1

lol all that weed is still jacked up in your system lolz

[shannonandsheila1]

@Gforcebond he he he could be man could be

[XxH4MMxX]

1960s <3

[TheUnDeRGRouNDHoBo]

GOLD !!!!

[HereThereAndNowhere]

this is what happens when robert johnson picks up an electrified guitar and does not jam

[robin56]

Like this version. So far, the best version of this song was released on an LP title Midnight Lightning...I see the cover here on discobatman.

[fategbe]

sounds like you to morons need to talk less BS and actually smoke some. "prowess as a pot head?" that's some stupid ish. those who talk are the posers.

[gremby]

WHO SING?

[covers72]

Agree. Now, I see people taking Jimi Hendrix messages out of context as to this Wall Street protest stuff. Yes, it's wrong what corporate america has done to this country and it's impact on the world economy. Europe corporations are to blame also. This is unrelated, but by adding more violence and just joining for an excuse to party defeats the purpose of people protesting legitimately vs. jumping on the bandwagon.

Sad that Jimi went so soon.

[TheHappiest1]

I can dig it.

[flowacra]

when the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. - Jimi Hendrix

[shawnymarbles]

@flowacra its funny because hendrix never said that..it is a beautiful statement and i agree with it 100 percent but its been mistaken that jimi hendrix said it.."When the Power Of Love will replace the Love Of Power, then will our world know the blessings of Peace." - William Gladstone its a giant misconception i dont know why they say hendrix said it to this day

[flowacra]

@shawnymarbles LOL-I've seen it paraded around from various places-thanks. You don't think he even jested after another author, huh?

[guitarlegend4200z]

@flowacra Anger is hard to control... but its easy to love

[alex2410]

@flowacra "music is the safe kind of high" - Jimi Hendrix

[flowacra]

Not even going to look. Jimmy Hendrix was Peace, the music our soldiers listened to to remember they were humans from the USA. Jimi Hendirx was a god in music and stilll is. Whatever bad is being said: go beat off to it somewhere else.

[MrFireblade67]

If you dig Hendrix you don't bad mouth people. If you can't grasp that you don't get Hendrix. Peace.

[poopyoopoop]

@MrFireblade67 You speak wise words.

[susanangelika]

i agree with you about the arguing..its not nessesary here...enjoy the one and only.....Mr. James Marshall Hendrix... love always

[madmonkeymcnite]

1:40

[belldn3]

Blues Rock at it BEST.

[kinoboy94]

hes talking about how he went back in time and became the best guitar player that ever lived

midnight lightning struck his time machine and sent him thru space and time.

[Mercmad]

I haven't heard this for at least 38 years! Jimi layed down hundreds of tracks and many were only put out on low release LPs .gems like this show the true genius of this demiGod.

[Luxmaxnike]

this is cleary based on the intro of Voodoo Child.

[kinoboy94]

@Luxmaxnike hmm very intersting indeed

[ryancook88]

Fuck yeahh dudee!! *&*^^

[bivouiitt]

The last good Sunday I had consisted of sitting on my bed, listening to this song, smoking week, and ordering a pizza with a large bag of doritos.

[terb177]

It Sounds like He took hear my train a comin, and, threw the riff from voodo child in, spiced it up a lttle. Dope, He is the most amazing musician I have ever listened to. His music is drops of acid sunshine to the bones in my soul

[kwesi01]

Funny - I've never really listened to "Midnight Lightning" before, although I've been listening to Jimi since 1973 or so! Much of the song reminds me of "Hear My Train a-Coming." Interesting stuff, so thanks for posting this. RIP, Jimi.

[cerealboxcar]

@kwesi01 Yeah, is kinda similar to Hear My Train a Coming

[str8OuttaNaptown30]

When you say Jimi Hendrix, most people would think of Rock n Roll, or his guitar skills of course, but few people take heed to his blues songs. This is one bad blues song.

[301bigmac]

We have war no matter what cause theres always fear in the world and thats what causes us to fight in wars cause theres always fear that the country next to us could randomly attack. It's all instict the fight or flight system.

[Str1keRS1R]

@301bigmac It's not fear, it's Political greed. Politicians are like mafia, if something doesn't go their way, they take it by force. All wars that occured were thanks to someone's greed. Fuck the government, so many people died just so that they could have a little more money in their pockets...

[gmjunky87]

this track kinda reminds me of lightnin hopkins for some reason, Love it! I'm 27 and have been listenin to Jimi since I was like 9. He's the reason I picked up a guitar.

[fredsassy5]

"When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do."

- Jimi Hendrix

[quagsiremango]

fuck lil wayne this is real music

[fannicoleely]

Those of you commenting on this video with argumentive comments don't belong listening to this music. Hendrix was all about peace, and here you guys are arguing. What the hell are you guys doing arguing on a video of a man who stood for peace? You obviously don't believe the true meaning of this music. Go to a controversy lil wayne video. Be real now. Peace.

[thorkyll]

@fannicoleely  "peace" doesn't mean "no arguments", it means freedom to argue without force or violence.

[fannicoleely]

@thorkyll Not neccesarily. Arguments contradict peace...peace is where everyone is at one and accepts eachothers differences and views without tension. An argument is a result of not accepting those differences. Argument IS force/violence most of the time. Freedom to argue without force or violence wouldn't be an argument...it'd be disagreeing while accepting eachothers opinions, and even speaking your own mind. I think you're reffering to the term "disagreement" rather than "argument".

[OrangeSaint420]

@fannicoleely

jimi hendrix used to get in bar fights and beat his girlfriends all the time

[fannicoleely]

@OrangeSaint420 Then he doesn't stand to his own message which is even worse.

[jackmaguiregerrard]

@OrangeSaint420 whoever told you that was a fucking retard



[OrangeSaint420]

@jackmaguiregerrard

look it up dumbass its not speculation its confirmed fact

[21Domp]

@OrangeSaint420 hey brother i hope you know all the information your giving is false unless you can give me sufficient evidence than so be it but Jimi Hendrix was not a hot head drunk he was actually very far from it. his one and only love went to the exact same High School i went to Gonzaga Preparatory school. So please dont spread false facts you insignificant idiot

[OrangeSaint420]

@21Domp

wow you went the same high school as someone that knew jimi hendrix your so special you deserve a reward. go do some research im not your fuckin professor.

[21Domp]

@OrangeSaint420 haha exactly you have no proof all you are to society is pelebiean dirty ass bum if you even understand what im saying which you probably wont cause from the sounds of it you smoke pot on an occasion and call your self a pot hahaha orangesaint420 wow you must stone alot until you grow weed or smoke more than 4 grams a day then can you show off your prowess as a pot head but until then get the fuck off of this video you fuckin poser

[OrangeSaint420]

@21Domp

yea i really give a fuck what some guy on youtube thinks of me. wow 4 grams a day what are you 12? haha and go ahead try to sound smart when you dont know how to spell or use correctly the only big word you know. a plebeian is not a "dirty ass bum"

[21Domp]

@OrangeSaint420 i was talking about bear minimum you dumb fuck and plebeian in present day context means low class or as i can say a bum you fuckin uneducated piece of shit. i smoke more weed in a single day than your little bitch lungs couldnt handle in a week i bet you dont even know how to make Butane Based Honey Oil let alone know what a trichome is you fuckin embassessment to humanity. so next time you look up a word you that you have no idea what is make sure you do correct research

[OrangeSaint420]

@21Domp

haha are you trying to brag over the internet about how you can make shitty butane hash oil? everyone knows ice water bubble hash is way better. do you think knowing what a trichrome is makes you cool? everyone who smokes bud knows what a trichrome is. and plebeian means middle class in present day context dumbass.a plebeian is average and bums are not average

[jordanreyesivan]

@21Domp

@orangesaint420

A true pothead is about peace the feeling you achieve after dragging a nice joint or hitting an iced bong any true toker knows an argument on the eternally anonymous internet is completely useless relax and chill out

[xXBlinDXx12]

@fannicoleely its no use man, its one versus millions of em, most of the time its best not to say anything at all, their names are under embarassment symbolically, their comment is embeded in the video and so they can subcosiously live their lives as losers and figure out what their problem is on their own. the best experience.

[susanangelika]

fannicoleely yes i totally agree with you

[carolmo2250]

@fannicoleely Wish the stoops would stop but this is a free country and we try to EDUCATE the stoops... I agree with you .. if you don't like don't listenn others do like so leave us alone and go in your deep hole..............

[Indymusicisthe11]

peace is not productive man its good but not productive you need to make money off something

[citius80]

@Indymusicisthe11 I make money off of crab fishing in Alaska on the Bering Sea.

How do you make money? What? In a past life did you go to Vietnam and rape their people of all of their heroin?

Yeah you're such a shit head, try thinking of something productive before you go and fuck yourself up or someone elses life you one minded ignoramus.

[kcoffey100]

this guys good

[cdevers100]

@kcoffey100 Good? Like saying a beautiful woman is ok......

[RawrKurly]

shut the fuck up you racist Fucks! im just here too enjoy the music and you should be too now just chill out and enjoy some of the best rock ever played.

[bubafoo]

This is what the modern folk call "raw". This is jimi completely as jimi, how he wanted it to sound. He felt the energy from the guitar and made it flow like water. The most innovative guitar player in history and he set the bar for everyone in the 60's and beyond.

[FUNKADELIChicken]

I hope that one day the time will come when no-one knows the meaning of the word 'race'. When people are not considered to be 'black' or 'white' etc... I think the first step we can take to 'disarm' or to stop racism is to stop considering ourselves a specific race. Can we not be happy just being humans, without labelling eachother with different colours to set everyone apart? That's my question.

[yepheth]

my gosh... i had bought that Douglas' Copy-and-Paste thing ages ago!

[akv913]

words wont resolve peace, only actions will. :)

[jamesito20]

@akv913 ill smoke to that!!

[pipsonja]

Yes but if you expect people not to dislike your videos than stop disliking anything different than yours! Peace... and love... unconditionally! Acceptance and seeing of true beauty in everything no matter how different it seems at first is what James tried to present to you all, through his music, his words!

[binhitler123]

retro pic



[vicpur]

Racism?

I tell you, what the world needs now is a great big melting pot,big enough to take the world and all its got,keep it stirring for a hundred years or more and turn out multi coloured people by the score!! Thats what we bloody need, Now please stfu and listen !!!

[TheMichaelseymour]

this is not the source track from the jack douglas produced LP of the same name -as far as i can tell ...i know douglas overdubbed stuff - but this isnt the source {i think]

jimi must have done at least one more take.....boy, the amount of music this young man crammed in- in not quite 28 years of his life was staggering -he seemed way older than his 28 years ....pain {of any source ] gave him hard won wisdom - god bless.

[AngelaPlant666]

JIMI'S MUSIC IS BEYOND ANY SKIN COLOR OR RACE OR COUNTRY OR LANGUAGE! FOREVER JIMI!

[parilizedm]

Enjoy the music dont critizize it, dont make enemys be freindly

[cannedhet69]

jimi was piped into my head as a child listening to a merman i should turn to be . He was and is one of the greatest at his method tremendous presence and one hell of a model AMERICAN!!! JIMI PEACE BRO ONE LOVE!!

[Diogenes1360]

As Jimi once said, "Although your world wonders me, with your majestic and superior cackling hen, it's your people, I do not understand." 3rd stone from the sun.

[Leftisright100]

He got this riff from Howlin' Wolf's Smoke Stack Lightning. Check it out. (And yes it is the same opening to Voodoo chile.)

[ZSedlacek]

Guys, guys. Why all the hate? After all, human beings are more the same than we are different =)

[TheRollingPeace]

@ZSedlacek oh yeah

[paulypaulification]

This is defenately not Hendrix,LMFAO

[damiqde6uq]

/watch?v=suY3OOfhUF8 check out this version of the song :)

[eekj22]

as i aways say Peace Luv Musik*

[machetazo713]

racism is been ignorant we a human race not color race

[7VALDERAMA]

we all brothers in the same planet,no boundaries no racism!!

[paddie3535]

@7VALDERAMA I don't know man, you ever been to Kentucky?

[7VALDERAMA]

@paddie3535 i can imagine what happens there but that makes adiracism even more importand

[ddikuu]

guys don't let those assholes disturb us while listening to this god, you aren't listening to his message: PEACE.

[reforest4fertility]

Raceists are those who feel they're trailing behind, insecure of their position

[macgreagor]

nao é o Jimi

[bronxboybliz149]

what people dont understand is that racism was created by the biggest enemy of the people! (the government) if we where all to get along one day we can change the world and live peaceful even in the h0od!

[krylon2009]

Who's the one singing? It doesn't sound like Jimi to me.

[farseas]

Racists are to be pitied, not hated.

[ZSedlacek]

@farseas Well spoken

[GoblinWizardry]

no hate maan, just grooove

[Cannabis919]

If you're still dumb enough to think there will ever be peace, then open your fuckin eyes. On that note, this is a bangin song to smoke to.

[olifantgamer]

Smokestack lightnin' - Howlin' wolf

[sumaccu]

oh my hendrix

[tarjammer420]

war would be no need if everyone smoked weed

[slutypet]

@tarjammer420 weed :3

[MrWalkerds]

@tarjammer420 until we ran out of weed, At least i know i get pretty pissed when I'm out

[Butch3rPete]

@MrWalkerds So then we'd have WWI. Weed War I.

[301bigmac]

@tarjammer420 Yeah but if we all smoke weed there would be no motivation to do jack cause truthfully weed makes you lazy and tired.\

[Lordedargon]

@301bigmac depends on the individual and how much you smoke.

take me for example. i did fuck all for years and was struggling with depression, and then after a while i just sort of....forgot how to be happy. then i started smoking weed, now im happy as a pig in shit and im doing all kinds of shit (including getting a job) all thanks to WEED!

[accountsixtynine]

@tarjammer420 or just listen to jimi :)

[aerycksmusic]

@tarjammer420 - yeah, let's leave the fighting to the dealers, pushers and gangster who supply the sweet smokers. ;)

[420GuitarShredder]

@tarjammer420 they smoked weed during the veitnam war lol.



[BitOveRate]

@tarjammer420 how naive

[musicofsounds]

@tarjammer420 Dr Drew and Dr Phil says weed is bad for you.

[LedZeppelin420x]

@musicofsounds fuck them, why do think they give it for a medication? and tell me how its any worse

[ColinTheButthead]

@tarjammer420 that is so not true, i know some stoners who are fucking assholes

[007THEAXEMAN]

:) just fab and so cool .

[MrWolfmang]

[Doppelganger53]

[robdu85]

Désolé je ne parle pas anglais

[fat1buds]

[223johnd]

[amandalimmadilu23]

Stupid sillystringyoass!you need a medecin know becaus you are sick stupid clown!

[quagzthesuper]

blunts rolled plus jimi hendrix equals great night

[sk8erguy011]

serious, serious blues right here

[KushSeed420]

I just came in my pants :)

[Bullpuma]

exotic plants make exotic music :D

[mamasboy815]

Jimi Hendrix was born into a very tragic life! He used his music to portray a less tragic world. The world he dreamed of is the world I think most want. I know I do! Peace,Love and all that other shit!

[13ilw13]

no offense to jimi, but for all you people talking about peace and shit, shut the fuck up. if u knew anything about jimi you would know that he was actually known for being very violent, especially with his girlfriends. one time he beat his girlfriend over the head with a pay phone because he thought she was calling another person. jimi promoted peace because he took acid and wore acid patches during concerts. he was fucked up.

[sasquatch8293]

@13ilw13 well my point is why the hell do people come on youtube just to start an argument. its pretty fuckin stupid.

[adrianbpj]

@13ilw13 Yeah you're right, nobody should promote peace because Jimi Hendrix got violent when he drank. stupid fuckin redneck

[cheechandchong97]

@13ilw13 Know about his life? It's pretty fucked up untill he got famous, its all built anger and sadness, which is pretty understandable..And I bet you get pretty fuckin pissed at Call of Duty, so please. Just enjoy his music, and chill.

[stupidscrewedseries]

@cheechandchong97 even when he was famous /:

[likeaboss97]

@cheechandchong97 were only 14. thats inappropriate language

[Atrax1207]

@likeaboss97 grow some balls kid. 

[likeaboss97]

@Atrax1207 haha im joking

[cheechandchong97]

@likeaboss97 Haha diggin the number at the end of your name. :D

[poppieslittlejodie]

@cheechandchong97 His life is tragic and sad...beyond anything that I had ever imagined.

[hndrxuntilidie]

@13ilw13, You are so ignorant. Jimi didn't go around abusing people...he was a peaceful human being, but at the end of the day, we are not without flaws. NOBODY is perfect.

[rochabeatlesfan]

@13ilw13 i totally agree with you.... ppl really don't know what they're talkin about

[bonjonner]

@13ilw13 buddy you're totally manipulated by what you read. Did you know him personally? Nah. No one did. Just keep believing whatever you hear and read. People of your nature are easily influenced. See if it hooks you up in the long run. See this top? Flop. Pick up on it, man.

[sasquatch8293]

why do people have to make stupid comments? enjoy the music. Jimi played his music in the spirit of peace, love and happiness. lets follow his example

[hydrogaming13]

i have never heard a song by Jimi that i havent liked

[lizerdspherex]

This song has a bit of "Smokestack Lightning"

[147danboy]

fuck rasicm why cant we all live in peace and harmony as humans together as one, PEACE

[LedZeppelin420x]

@147danboy race is a lie
